NVIDIA Fully Using Open-Source GPU Kernel Modules in Upcoming Driver Release!

Hi there guys :)

Great news from NVIDIA, I just found this online and wanted to share it with everyone who might be interested. NVIDIA will be publishing their GPU kernel modules as fully open-source starting with the next R560 driver release.

So there is hope for a better gaming experience on Linux after all. 🙏

Here's the link to their blog post if you want to learn more about it:

I love how much negativity can arise because of a simple post from which I thought people might appreciate the information shared with them. We love the internet.

I'm not an expert on this, but how is this going to be better?
